RPs and basic guidelines for the semester

First things first: STAPLES ARE EVIL. Don't use them, you can do without. One page is enough. Save the trees.

Secondly, on RPs do not forget tone.

So now you know...

Remember: Deadlines are the main enemy in this class. Utilize Tracy, me and the Writing Center. Please. Though the late policy is stringent, Tracy will allow students one week to revise an assignment until they get the grade they desire. Redoing assignments proved to be more of a learning experience than writing them. Scour The Cache. 

Here's my e-mail again: dsm31@humboldt.edu.

Send me any questions, papers for feedback, or on the general structure of the class.

The First Two Weeks

I know that Critical Writing may seem daunting: the class is incredibly well structured, assignments seemingly piled on top of one another. Believe me it is not nearly as difficult as it first appears. Tracy believes in that individual flair and loves having students be themselves. Not once did I feel like I was forced into writing something I didn't want to. I could still be humorous, be outlandish, be the weird, socially malformed creature that I was. I have never encountered a teacher who is so permissive when it comes to writing styles and the like. So as these first couple weeks continue to roll on, remember to stick with it. Don't be nervous. I'll definitely help you. I might even find the time to meet with students should it be necessary (though anything after nine pm is on your dime).
